The Chinese Community Center of the Peninsula has performed community service programs and activities for decades. One of the programs is the monthly Senior Lunch.
On the last Saturday of each month, volunteers prepare and serve a three-course hot lunch for senior citizens. For many years it was held at Cubberley Community Center Auditorium. The new location for Senior Lunches starting in 2010 is the First Christian Church. The luncheon only costs seniors a few dollars and provides them with an opportunity to socialize, meet new friends and enjoy a hot, nutritious meal.
Each December, the Senior Lunch is replaced with the New Year's Eve Bash that is sponsored by the City of Palo Alto. The CCCP takes on the task of preparing and serving a sumptuous buffet luncheon for 150-200 seniors! There is live music, dancing and a champagne countdown.
If you are interested in attending a Senior Lunch or to volunteer to serve, please contact Dorothy Yip by emailing info at chinesecommunitycenter.com (replace at with the @ symbol and remove all spaces – this is to keep down the spam from Internet bots) to reserve your spot.
